Name: Death the Kid

Alias: Kid, Kiddo (Shinigami only)

Age: Uknown - assumed to be 15 or 16, but quite possibly older due to not being human and incapable of dying of old age.

Ranking: Hero

Physical Appearance: Kid's pale complexion and overall weak appearance tend to attract double takes and sideward glances in public, with most people thinking he should most likely be in a hospital for malnutrition or some other variety of wasting disease, although this couldn't be further from the truth. Composed almost entirely of sinewy muscle between his skin and bone, Kid is much stronger, faster and more coordinated than his appearance would ever suggest. If his overall stick thin frame and otherwise frail appearance weren't enough to attract attention, his eyes and hair kick it up to eleven - already accentuated by his pale skin, his unusually gold colored eyes tend to stand out, and on top of that he has three odd white lines in his hair, natural coloration rather than dye as most people would believe.

As far as clothing goes, Kid does not disappoint, although his choice in garments tend to stem from both his family legacy as well as his occasionally crippling obsession with symmetry. To say that Kid dresses sharply would be an understatement - whenever he is on the job or otherwise seen in public he will always be clad in a rather sharp black and grey suit that further accentuates his thin frame, along with black shoes and a skull shaped cuff on the front of his white undershirt, all topped off by skull shaped rings on the middle fingers of both hands. When in private or among friends Kid tends to relax somewhat, although his clothing still remains semi formal - the most casual garment anyone will ever see him wear is a well ironed polo shirt and slacks.


Personality: To say Kid is a complicated individual would be a severe understatement, but as with all things we'll start at the beginning.

In public and in general Kid presents himself as a very proper young man, speaking calmly and clearly with a much broader vocabularly than most people would think him capable. While usually vocal with his opinions, Kid will rarely lose his composure in general conversation, and while he may let a seeming air of arrogance slip every now and then, it wouldn't be something intentional - he by no means considers himself to be above anyone save for those few he considers utterly devoid of any redeeming qualities (usually those without any semblance of order or symmetry). To them he will be quite condescending when provoked, but otherwise incredibly quiet and surrounded by an intensity not often seen in people - this, however, is a product of concentration and focus, rather than hatred or dislike… usually.

Among friends, though, Kid tends to relax quite a bit, becoming much more talkative and free with his words and opinions than he is in public. Given his rather isolated upbringing, Kid sees no point in holding anything back from such people, and as such doesn't.

All in all, Kid is a cool, calm and collected individual, highly intelligent and capable in his own right, but also with several deeply instilled ideals and values that drive him far harder than most people.


Powers/Abilities:

Shinigami: Despite his appearance, Kid is not human - far from it, actually. While he lacks the inhuman presence and appearance of his father, Kid is still a Shinigami, and as such the heir to a multitude of perks and abilities, first and foremost his body. While Kid's body is human in appearance and overall functionality, it is capable to taking much, much more punishment, surviving wounds that would instantly kill any human. Kid has even gone so far as to have several large, tenatcle like appendages pierce clear through his chest and out of his back on one occassion and lost little of his combat ability, and has quite literally had his arms severed from his body and reattached, although the latter was a result of BREW activating and enhancing his abilities - just the same, though, Kid's regenerative abilities are nonetheless inhuman. Another perk of being a shinigami is that Kid is immune to hazards and substances that would prove harmful or deadly to normal humans - he is completely unaffected by both UV rays and natural poisons.

As a Shinigami, Kid is also much faster, stronger and more agile than any human short of super athletes, capable of leaping up to heights and distances otherwise impossible and outlasting almost every opponent enduarance wise - only the best of Meisters could have hoped to match him physically.

Acrobat: In large part due to his very nature of being a Shinigami, Kid is capable of dizzying acrobatics, none of which seem to take away from his ability to aim and hit targets with his two weapons - if anything, it makes it easier, allowing Kid to simultaneously dodge and attack at once, and even allowing him to get up close and personal, something which most often than not proves lethal for his opponents when combined with the Mortal Sin stance. Even further augmenting this is Beezlebub, which makes Kid both even more mobile on the ground than before as well as a dangerous aerial combatant, removing the advantage of flight from many opponents who would otherwise enjoy superior mobility.

Marksman: Even with Liz and Patty in their default .38 mode Kid has proven himself to be a lethal marksman, capable of hitting targets that even skilled veteran soldiers would find difficult, if not nigh impossible - even more impressive is that Kid does it while often in motion. His shots rarely if ever miss, and if one or two happen to then no matter; in addition to his inhuman accuracy, Kid's usual fighting style is to drown his opponents under a barrage of pinpoint gunfire, leaving no opportunity to dodge, much less counterattack.

Soul Perception: One of the trademark abilities of advanced Meisters, Kid's Soul Perception allows him to sense any and all souls within a certain distance of himself - in essence, acting like a radar of sorts for any and all things with souls. On top of that it also allows him to sense certain things about any given soul - whether or not said soul is human, corrupted, or otherwise different from the norm. Being a Reaper by birth and not a human Meister, this ability is far more advanced than most and requires no effort from Kid to use - in short, it is more of a passive ability, always active and acting as a sixth sense.

Death Cannon, Execution Mode: Kid's primary Resonance, and only possible when wielding Liz and Patty. When activated, his weapons transform from two .38 handguns into two large cannons that each encase one arm, dramatically increasing their destructive potential. While they take several seconds to charge as they gather energy, each one is easily capable of levelling a building, and unquestionably lethal against most enemies.

Death Eagle .42: Obtainable only upon connecting the first Line of Sanzu, this ability causes Liz and Patty to transform into handguns visually identical to the Israeli made Desert Eagle, also upgrading their .38 shot to a point .42 - while not as powerful as Death Cannon, it acts as a simple upgrade to Liz and Patty's normal functionality, resulting in much more powerful attacks without any loss of speed or mobility. Shifting into Death Eagle is also required to gain access to both the Sanzu Fall Shot and
Parent's Seven Rays.

Death Combat Art - "Mortal Sin" Stance: Less an ability and more of a fighting style, the Mortal Sin stance allows Kid to shift his rather neutral, balanced fighting style into an offensive one focused primarily on causing damage with speed and accuracy, allowing Kid to fight in close. While this is primarily meant to allow him to deliver powerful punches, kicks and other physical blows, the Reaper had long since learned how to incorporate Liz and Patty into the fighting style, resulting in a mixture of physical blows from Kid and using Liz and Patty themselves as close quarters weapons for clubbing as well as close quarters firing.

Death Combat Art - "Punishment" Stance: A much more defensive stance than Mortal Sin, this is primarily used in the incredibly rare instance that Kid is pitted against an opponent who is not only stronger than him, but also too fast and agile to allow Kid a clear shot with Liz and Patty; in short, when use of Mortal Sin or his usual fighting style would prove lethal or non advantageous. It is also this stance that allows Kid to use the Skull Shield technique.

Parent's Seven Rays: Kid's second resonance, and his most powerful attack to date - so far it has only seen use once, against Noah as he was laying waste to the Shibusen's teaching staff. Exponentially more powerful than Death Cannon, this technique does not come without drawbacks, namely prerequisites that mus be in place before the attack can be used. First and foremost is that not one, but two Lines of Sanzu must be connected, and on top of that Death Eagle .42 must be in effect, and after that several seconds of charging is required, just as with Death Cannon. Once all of the conditions have been fulfilled, however, Kid is able to use an attack capable both homing in on the target as well as levelling one or two city blocks in a single shot.

The first stage of the attack has Liz and Patty entering Execution Mode much as with Death Cannon, but after that is the secondary stage, Coffin Construction, in which several smaller, coffin shaped cannons materialize in the air behind him - the final stage, Commencing Rotation, is the charging phase, similar to Death Cannon, after which the cannons behind Kid fire shots capable of homing in on his opponent.

Sanzu Fall Shot: A simple enough technique, relying only on the magnified power of Death Eagle .42. Kid raises his arms upwards, then drops them to either side, firing a barrage of shots as he does so. While simple, the technique gives his shots a very wide arc of fire, making them extremely difficult to dodge and proving lethal should he be fighting multiple opponents.

Shadow Skull Arms: A skill inherited from Shinigami, and Kid's most used ability. In addition to allowing him to summon and store items (namely his skateboard, Beelzebub, as well as souls for safekeeping), it can also be used for something akin to short range teleportation - such use of the ability is often so fast that many who see the ability in this form may mistake it for hyper fast movement. Used primarily for surprise attacks in this fashion, it can prove to be incredibly useful when combined the the Mortal Sin stance. It was also this ability that allowed Kid to retrieve and reattach his severed arms during his fight with Mosquito.

Skull Shield: Another ability gained from his father, although Kid cannot use it with nearly the same amount of proficiency. Wheras Shinigami is able to form a single shield larger than his body, Kid is only capable of generating arm sized shields, and so far has only used them in combination with the defensive Punishment stance. While relatively small, the shields are able to absorb an astonishing degree of damage before even cracking, and Kid uses this to great effect. When in use they materialize along the back of Kid's forearms.

Madness Release: An ability gained after overcoming the madness induced by the Great Old One of Power in the final chapter of Eibon's Book, this ability comes with great reward as well as great risk to the user. While dramatically increasing both the user's combat ability and soul wavelength quality through the empowering embrace of madness (in Kid's case, his obsession with "Order"), the user also runs the risk of succumbing to said madness. Kid, however, being an embodiment of a certain type of madness himself, no longer runs this risk, having understood the purpose of his madness in the world, as well as how to constructively implement it (as Balance, rather than Nothingness).

Equipment:

Liz/Patty: His Demon Weapon Partners, see bio (not here yet!)

Beelzebub: A rather peculiar skateboard that Kid general keeps in an unknown storage place, and he is capable of both summoning and storing it in an instant. In addition to having the normal functionality of a regular skateboard, Beelzebub also grants Kid the ability to fly, and can hover over rough terrain with considerable speed. Kid himself has shown incedible skill and familiarity with its use, and can implement it into his combat style without effort when it will grant him an advantage or needed ability.

Weaknesses

Psychological Flaws:

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: As the human embodiment of the madness of Order, a madness which his father, Shinigami, also embodies, Kid has an all consuming obsession with order and symmetry. While it doesn't sound too bad on its own and Kid has long since moved towards improving upon this weakness with effort, Kid still reacts badly when forced to confront blatently assymetrical objects or people, and conversely is easily distracted by perfectly symmetrical objects, although the latter has not happened for a while.

While it no longer interferes with Kid's objectives much when it truly counts and has long since learned he is better off ignoring his surroundings most of the time, he can still be driven to rather pathetic displays of nitpicking and self loathing should people point out little things in his surroundings that are out of place or not symmetrical, and will go to great lengths to correct the issue, although he does have limits (he will attempt not to intrude on personal space, for instance, but may ask or demand that the person correct the issue themselves). Once he becomes truly comfortable with a person as a friend, though, Kid will more often than not completely overlook such.... infractions.

Physical Flaws:

Lines of Sanzu: While viewed as many as ways to increase Kid's strength (as it does indeed exponentially increase as more lines are connected), that is not the case - rather, the Lines of Sanzu are in fact limiters to Kid's power. Noted in canon to be a physical characteristic of shinigami when in human form, it has also been shown that they directly link Kid to Shinigami himself, with Shinigami's mask cracking when a single line connected, and cracking again when two were connected - while it is still unknown what this means for the Reaper, Spirit noted that it probably doesn't bode well for him. While only theory, it has been suggested that there cannot be two adult Reapers in existance at the same time, and that when all three lines connect Shinigami himself may pass away, with Kid becoming an adult Reaper himself.

Human Form: For all of his increased strength, speed and durability as well as the fact that he is most likely immune to death by old age, Kid can, quite ironically, die. While it would certainly take much more effort than it would to kill a human, his body can be damaged as easily as that of a human, and if it takes too much damage without the chance to recover he can die. It's probably also safe to assume that head trauma, if severe enough, would be a rather easy way to kill him.

Other Flaws:

Brief History: (I will shamelessly admit that I pulled this from the wiki - to be blunt I think I've spoken enough to demonstrate I have extensive knowledge regarding Kid's background, so I think it should be fine as others have done this before me)

Death The Kid is first introduced while in the process of conducting a mission. After failing the mission to capture Lupin the thief due to his obsession with symmetry, he speaks to his father, Shinigami-sama, and decides to go after the witch, Samantha, who is controlling mummies at the pyramid of Anubis. Upon arriving, Kid begins to worry about the symmetry of a picture hanging in his room back home. Kid leaves his weapons, Patti and Liz Thompson, alone in the pyramid, along with all the mummies, by themselves. The sisters manage to defeat the mummies but are later captured by the Pharaoh. When Kid eventually returns, he finds that his partners are being held captive. After successfully releasing them, Liz and Patti transform but Kid doesn't fight as he realizes that the Pharaoh's coffin is in perfect symmetry. The Pharaoh beats the unwilling Kid down. Kid then lays on the ground as the Pharaoh prepares for the final blow. The Pharaoh comes out of his coffin to end it, but Kid notices nothing symmetrical about it anymore but the smiley face jewel on his forehead. Kid then gets up and shoots everything down but the smiley face, defeating the Pharaoh, however, in the process he destroyed the pyramid of Anubis and as punishment, Shinigami takes all the souls he's collected.

Shinigami and Death the Kid, are both seen watching the battle between Black Star, Maka and their weapons against Sid. They soon discuss who it was that killed Sid and turned him into a zombie. With the culprit now revealed to be Dr. Stein, Shinigami then explains that not only was the current Death Scythe, Spirit, originally raised by Stein but that he was the strongest student to ever graduate from Shibusen.

Kid is later seen watching the battle between Stein and the Shibusen kids. He is shocked at the revelation and personally believes that they will all die at the hands of Stein. As the battle proceeds, Kid is astonished by Stein's masterful use of wavelength without the use of a weapon. Kid is soon unable to watch the onslaught brought on by Stein and wishes to aid them, but is stopped by his father, who states that this is for Shibusen students. Kid then decides that, henceforth, he will be a Shibusen student.

On his way out of his father's room, Kid is seen stumbling as he believes he forgot to fold the edge of his toilet paper into a triangle. Patti and Liz try to help him but all their attempts are in vain.

There is constant talk regarding Kid enrolling at Shibusen. Black Star, being the person that he is, is angered that there is someone who is talked about more than he is. He then proceeds to go outside and wait for Kid to appear. Kid, however, is three hours late, as he spent the entire time making certain that everything was perfectly symmetrical before his departure. When Kid finally does arrive, he immediately begins to admire the supreme symmetry of the school building; however, he is quickly devastated when Black Star ruins the symmetry by standing on and breaking one of the spikes protruding out the main skull structure. This greatly angers Kid and he prepares to do battle with Black Star and Soul.

During battle, Kid uses his twin pistols with great dexterity and handles both Soul and Black Star with extreme ease. The fight soon attracts the attention of the students inside the school; leading to Maka, Tsubaki and Stein having to go outside to deal with it.

During the battle, Black Star and Soul decide to attempt to actually work together as a weapon and meister pairing. Despite their attempt, it fails horribly with Soul landing on Black Star in scythe form and Black Star being unable to lift Soul due to the horrible connection they have between their souls.

Angered by their failed attempts, Soul and Black Star choose to break up as partners but to stay as friends. While they are hugging, Kid shoots them both in the head. As the two get back up, they decide to renew their attacks on Kid, but separately this time. Black Star manages to grab Kid’s leg and pulls him onto the ground, and Soul seizes the opportunity to slash at Kid. Kid narrowly avoids this and breaks free from Black Star's grasp, all the while pulling Black Star into an embarrassing blow to his head. Kid responds to this barrage by performing a soul resonance with Liz and Patti. He then gets into Execution mode and performs Death Cannon. This creates a large explosion that knocks both Soul and Black Star out.

Kid, surprisingly, loses consciousness too for seemingly unknown reasons. It is then revealed by Maka that, when Soul attempted to slash at Kid, he had cut some of Kid’s bangs, with Kid not noticing the broken symmetry until after the explosion. Soul and Black Star both agree that this was their "win from behind".

Shinigami later appears to pick up and attend to Kid, who is still unconscious from the broken symmetry.

As punishment for not gathering any souls from the extra lesson, Black Star is tasked with cleaning up the entirety of a library. However, instead of completing the task, he starts reading manga, and proceeds to make noise while doing so. It is at this moment that Death the Kid finds him there. Kid is at the library to borrow books, with his main purpose being to read about the holy sword Excalibur. Kid is fascinated by its possible symmetry, while Black Star is by the fame it entails. Their interest is piqued further after they hear from Stein that Excalibur was impossible even for himself. With that, they go search for the sword.

Eventually, they reach Priten Island, North Part. Their first obstacle is to climb a large cliff. Kid easily does so by riding on his Beelzebub. Black Star is forced to climb it bare-handed. After Black Star climbs it, he soon reaches the cave and sees Kid hanging off of an obstacle. Kid begs Black Star to carry him, because he does not want to step in water. Eventually Black Star gives in and carries Kid. While walking through the cave, they pass by a fairy. They inquire her about Excalibur. She instantly makes a disgusted face after she hears them say the name. The two soon reach the sword’s cavern and are impressed at the sight it. Kid is especially fascinated by its beauty. When both try to pull it out, they are surprised at how easily they were able to. Excalibur then begins talking to them and changes into his human-like form.

Kid and Black Star are amazed over how ridiculous Excalibur’s human form looks. Excalibur quickly begins to ask the boys trivial questions, while at the same time not giving them time to respond. On top of that the manner in which Excalibur waves his cane around and referring to his own legend quickly angers Black Star. It is even revealed that the book of Excalibur was written by Excalibur himself. Excalibur then gives them a large amount of sheets, delineating all the things one must do to be able to wield him. After giving them the stack of papers, Excalibur finally declares them his Meisters. However, immediately after they hold him, the two put him back into the ground and leave in disgust.

The following day, Black Star and Kid meet each other while walking down the hallway in the school. The two shake hands because of their good partnership. Kid then notices that some of the other students are laughing at them. The reason is because Excalibur has sent a pair of giant gifts to them, with the message “I’ll always be waiting for you".

Kid is with his two partners, along with Black Star and Tsubaki, in Maka and Soul's apartment. They had all just finished eating Maka's food. Kid then compliments Soul for having a nice, clean apartment. He then asks if just Maka and Soul lives here. This question was answered when Blair makes an appearance, in a towel, and asks if anyone would like to take a bath with her. Blair's towel then falls off; Kid is astonished and Soul suffers the typical nose bleed. However notice that, in contrary to most anime characters, Death the kid does not suffer from a nose bleed.

Stein issues a very important written exam for the class, with rumors being spread that whoever passes with the greatest score will make or become a Death Scythe. This being Kid's first test in the school, Patti tells Kid to do his best. Kid, however, replies that because he is a Shinigami, he already knows all he needs to about the subject of souls.

At his house, instead of studying, and while checking up on Patti and Liz, Kid notices that Liz is plucking her eyebrows. He asks if he should be the one who plucks them, so her right and left eyebrows match perfectly. Liz rejects his offer, because it took Kid a month last time. Kid then begs Liz, until she accepts. Before Kid even works on them, he begins to draw a design.

The day of the test arrives and several moments after the test begins, Kid is seen stuck writing his full name--believing it is not beautifully written. Even after the hour had almost passed, he is still trying to write his name. This time, the "K" in "Death The Kid" is spaced wrong and has to rub out the letter lots of times, after numerous failed attempts. It is at this point that he starts to cry, stating that he is garbage and that the letter "K" has abandoned him. However; as he is viciously rubbing his mistake out, he mistakenly rips the test paper; horrified by this, he coughs out blood then propels off his chair, onto the floor and passes out (symmetrically).

In the end, Kid failed the test with zero points.

Kid arrives, by boat, to the Babuto Seashore, reported to have had it's entire town swallowed. The information was released by the villagers who survived the event. Kid then points to a fog, sensing a large amount of souls in that location. Immediately, a large ship emerges from the fog — the Nidhogg. After crashing into the large ship, Kid and his two partners board it. While on board, Kid begins to canvass the ship and soon discovers a room crowded by souls. Kid decides to save the souls using his Shinigami powers but is stopped when the Flying Dutchmen emerges from underneath Kid and shoots at him. Kid narrowly dodges this shot, and in the same instance, Liz falls and is swallowed by the ship. The Dutchman explains that the ship and he are the same and that they walked into his stomach. Kid inquires the Dutchman on the large amount of souls. Dutchman replies that they are for the Kishin. He then shoots at Kid, who dodges it. Patti tells Kid she will transform but is rejected by Kid. The two are then chased outside the room where they meet Liz. He finally tells the two to transform and begins to do battle with the Dutchman. But, before he can do anything, the Dutchman is attacked by Crona, who then proceeds to cut him in half. After that, Crona immediately begins to draw out the souls from within the ship and allows Ragnarok to consume them. Kid is astonished and positions himself into his "Stance of Sin" form, with the intention of executing Crona.

Kid and Crona begin battle. Kid easily overwhelms Crona, delivering countless shots to him/her. The Dutchman, still alive after being attacked by Crona, interrupts the battle by attacking Crona and Kid with cannons. When the smoke clears, Kid notices that Crona's spirit wavelength is expanding. Crona then proceeds to perform Screech Alpha, destroying the ship. Crona then uses the chance to escape. Kid withdraws his Beelzebub and gives chase. Halfway through the chase, Kid is distracted by the the symmetrical view of the sun and sky, letting Crona escape.

Kid eventually reaches Shibusen and tells Liz and Patti to go back to the mansion. Kid visits his father and inquires him on the Kishin, wanting a full explanation from his father.

Kid is seen with a depressed look on his face when Maka and the others enter the room. When Maka asks what was wrong, Kid changes his expression and soon notices that Black Star completely neglected his outfit. Kid then welcomes everyone to the commemoration. After Shinigami's short speech, Kid begins his own speech, but is constantly interrupted by Black Star's obnoxiousness. It gets to the point where Kid kicks Black Star in the face and thus the two begin fighting, with Kid ending up in his depressed state for his ruined speech.

Soon the party is ruined by Medusa, who escapes, and with Free while trapping everyone in a cube that separates them from the rest of the world.

It was due to Sid performing his Compulsive Burial that Kid and his partners, along with Maka and Soul, Black Star and Tsubaki, and Stein through the ground and away from the imprisonment. Once the group reach the bottom, Stein informs them of Medusa's goal. Afterward, he asks if anyone wishes to leave, as the battle ahead will be dangerous--everyone prepares to fight.

On their way to stop the revival of Asura, they are interrupted by a visit from Maka's father, Spirit and, after some speaking, joins the group. Eventually, Medusa appears, with the intent of being a hindrance. Stein tells the kids to go on ahead, while he faces Medusa. After some trouble, Kid, along with Black Star and Maka, manage to pass by Medusa's attacks.

While Kid is on his way to the Kishin's chamber, he is slowed down by the bombs of Eruka along with his OCD having an effect on him. After being galvanized by Patti, Kid forces himself past the explosives.

Once again, when he reaches closer to the Kishin's chamber, he begins to sense the insanity of the Kishin. Liz asks Kid about the Kishin. Kid then explains that the Kishin was defeated by Shinigami, who then proceeded to rip off Asura's skin and seal his soul within in, though had forgotten about Asura's blood. The conversation, however, is interrupted by a blast from Free. The two then begin to battle, though midway into it, Kid is distraught by the unsymmetrical ruins surrounding him. Thankfully, Black Star makes an amicable appearance and brings Kid back to reality. The two then work together to defeat Free.

While Black Star is attacking Free, he begins to take notice of Black Star's futile attacks. This eventually ends up with Kid concluding that the Free they see is a mere illusion. After insulting Black Star for not realizing this after being so close to Free, the two leave.

Eventually, Kid makes it inside the Kishin's room. His first sight is the Black Blood Eruka is carrying. He goes to attack, but is blocked by Free. Before Kid could retaliate, he is stopped by the Kishin's insanity--forcing him to hallucinate. He eventually returns to reality by recognizing that the hallucination is caused by the Kishin's insanity, He then goes to attack Eruka once again, but is again blocked by Free. Black Star then appears. Kid tells Black Star to stop the Black Blood from being injected while he keeps Free in one place.

Black Star's efforts proved to be fruitless, though, as the Black Blood was injected. Kid explains to Black Star that, while proceeding to slice the needle, his concentration was so high that he used the sixth sense of sensing wavelengths. This facilitated the illusion.

Kid is now forced to witness the awaking of the first Kishin. He begins to shoot the sack of skin, though his efforts were futile. Kid also witnesses Black Star's fruitless attempts at defeating the Kishin. With the simple swipe of a hand, Black Star is blown away. Kid then tries his luck again, but he, too, is defeated by a simple tap on the head and knocked unconscious.

Patti and Liz are seen carrying Kid after the Kishin escapes from Death City.

The kids are seen preparing to play basketball. Due to a shortage of one player, they force Maka into joining the game. Soul brings up the idea of a bet, for each of the teams' respective captain to follow if they lose. If Kid's team loses, they will put the paintings on Kid's walls in his mansion off by 2 cm; if Maka's team loses, she has to go shopping with her father. Ultimately, Kid's team wins, and Maka has to go shopping with her father, to Kid's obvious relief.

Kid and the others are at a large party. Kid notices Crona and comforts him about the hectic company. He tells Crona that he could open up and get use to everyone at his own pace.

Later on, he retrieves Patti and Liz for a mission, commissioned by Shinigami himself. The mission is about an express train thought to have infinite energy, as it has not stopped for over 100 years. Kid then says that a demon tool is located within it. They then head to the Sahara Desert and to the train station. They notice a passenger waiting, but pass it off as someone sightseeing. After a while, Kid becomes disappointed that the train doesn't appear and will most likely be late. Immediately, the train bursts from the ground like a large snake, passing by the abandoned station right on time. On the train is an Arachnophobia assassin, named Fisher King. Immediately, the person they'd believed was sightseeing reveals to be the youngest Mizune sister as she releases her soul protect and pursues the train, but not before leaving a bomb to hinder Kid's movements. Kid releases his Beelzebub and gives chase.

After a brief scuffle and a few skateboard tricks, Kid manages to board the train. Fisher King tries persistently to stop Kid from advancing, such as separating the cars. This proves to be useless, as Fisher King--to avoid an attack from the Mizune Sister-- jumps onto the wrong car, separating himself from the Demon Tool in the process. When he swings over to the proper car, Kid uses Patty and Liz to grab Fisher and board the car as well. The two then begin to battle, with Kid easily dominating him. The battle soon reaches the room housing the demon tool as Kid eventually finishes him off. When Kid is about to open the vase containing the tool, the injured Fisher King explains that the demon tool was created by Eibon, and then states that both Eibon and Shinigami are the same. He tells Kid to open the box containing the demon tool. Kid is astonished as he opens the box that within the vase is both Shinigami's and Eibon's signature on it. When Kid inquires what all this means, Fisher King is struck and killed by a Knife thrown by Sid before he receives any response. The African branch tells Kid that they can rest at the camp. Kid, however, is left perturbed.

Kid is in the Shibusen library researching all he can on Eibon. When he fails, he asks the receptionist for a level 4 book relating to Eibon. The receptionist, however, is unable to get the book as it was already borrowed by a person who only left the letter "M" as their signature. Kid thinks that it was Medusa.

Kid is with the other students being taught by Stein to perform a team resonance. Stein explains how important it is and that he'll drop any team who fails to perform it. When they finally begin, the team experiences trouble. Soon, Maka begins to blame Black Star. Ultimately, Kid had to end the argument before it erupts. However, he is unable to stop them once they argue again, as Soul stops Kid, telling him to let them settle things themselves.

When Maka cools off, the team begins again, and are successful. Later on, Maka confronts Black Star and tells him to punch her as penitence for her outburst. Black Star happily agrees and does so, much to Kid's surprise.

Kid, Maka, Black Star, Ox, Kilik, and Kim and their respective weapons is the group of kids chosen for fighting to obtain Brew before Arachnophobia.

When the grownups take too long to appear, the group begins to worry. Ox, Kilik, and Kim decide to stay behind and take care of the forces opposing them. With that, Kid, Black Star, and Maka enter the vortex. The first thing they notice is Shinigami.

Kid explains that what they see is Shinigami from the grim times, before he built Shibusen. The group then hurries to the pyramid. When they reach, they notice a large mass of witches--one of them being Arachne. The group proceeds and soon meet Marie and Stein. Because Marie and Stein are overstaying, the kids decide that they will take on the mission of retrieving Brew.

They eventually bump into Mosquito, who is carrying Brew. He then reverts to his form from 100 years ago and prepares to battle them. Before the battle can start, however, a hologram of Eibon appears. Black Star decides not to waste time and attacks Mosquito, ignoring the presence of Eibon. Eventually, Kid brings himself to ignore Eibon and attacks Mosquito too. However, none of their attacks are penetrating Mosquito's tough hide. Mosquito then uses his immense strength to overpower the kids. Luckily, Soul comes up with the idea of team resonance and augmenting it with his music.

Soul plays the piano, giving the kids a rush of power, enabling them to maneuver flawlessly around each other without saying a word. They are easily able to overcome Mosquito with both their synchronized speed and strength. Kid manages to connect a death cannon, which destroys both of Mosquito's arms. However, before they can finish him off, Soul stops playing, advising them to leave as their time limit for staying on the island is almost up.

They leave and watch how the Pyramid is destroyed by an explosion, though that, too, was a hologram from years past. When they exit the vortex they are greeted by a distraught Marie, who hugs them all for making it out safe, but soon threatens that they will all have a talking with her back at Shibusen.

Kid is outside the Shibusen Infirmary with Liz and Patti, waiting for Black Star. When Black Star exits the room, he asks if there were any lasting effects from being within the field for too long. Black Star replies that he is fine. Kid says that he, himself, has a god's body, so he does not need an examination. Upon hearing this, Black Star jumps outside and breaks one of DWMA's pillars, with the intent of galvanizing Kid into a duel — though at first Kid shows some concern for Black Star thinking he is going to hurt himself by jumping off the balcony of DWMA. Kid agrees to this, with the intention of punishing Black Star for ruining the symmetry of the school.

During battle, Kid notices a difference in Black Star, stating he has become weaker. As the battle continues, Kid tells Black Star to stop fighting, though Black Star refuses, retorting that Kid should kill him. Hearing this, Kid quickly goes in and delivers brutal hits onto Black Star, eventually knocking him out. Kid wonders what happened to Black Star.

Kid is teamed with Maka for an extracurricular activity. When they reach the location of the mission, Kid refuses to use the entrance Maka plans to use and instead leaves Maka so he can find a proper entrance. While searching for an entrance, Kid begins to worry that he hadn't folded his toilet paper back home into triangles, the pictures frames being crooked, and the height of his candles being unsymmetrical. This prevents him from catching up with Maka and all hopes of it ultimately gone when Liz decides to go back home when she becomes frightened by the scene of the place.

Kid is there to reveal to everyone that Kim was a witch. When Maka asks where he received the information regarding Kim, Kid replies that it was from Medusa.

Kid and his two partners are chosen to be Medusa's bodyguards for the operation, while Maka, Killik, Ox, and their respective weapons were chosen for the assault squad. After the operation details are discussed, they proceed with the mission, towards South America Amazon River Basin. When they finally head into the castle, the group camps out. The next day, they continue and soon meet Eruka, who gives them Arachnophobia uniforms to disguise themselves with. When the group makes it into the center of the castle, they find that everyone is dressed exactly as they are. Soon, they all become confused and eventually lose each other--each getting into their own trouble. Kid and Soul are given the unfortunate act of amusing the witch Angela, while being forced to pretend that they can't see her, as she strikes them below the belt, so to speak. They soon meet up with Medusa and are thrilled.

Medusa begins to discuss the plan: Taking down all eight locks preventing people from entering Arachne's room. After performing Vectoral conduct on them, Medusa leaves them to follow the arrows pointing to their lock. Kid is given lock 8.

On his way to Lock 8, Kid meets up with Mosquito, and soon Free ends up there too. Free asks if this is the location of lock 2. Kid replies that it is not. Free is distraught by this. Mosquito interrupts by stating he won't allow them to succeed. With that, Free and Kid decide to work together to defeat the common enemy at hand, with the condition that if one was able to go attack the lock, leave the other behind to do it. Mosquito turns into his form of 100 years past and the three begin battle.

Kid and Free easily overwhelm Mosquito, who then reverts to his form of 200 years past. Though this, too, only turns the tides towards Mosquito's favor for only a moment, as Kid and Free manage to overwhelm him in this form, too, with a combination of Free's ice attacks and Kid's gun style. To finish him off, Free freezes Mosquito and Kid and Free perform Death Cannon and Demon Eye Cannon, respectively. This combination leaves Mosquito gravely injured. Recognizing their strength, Mosquito reverts to his 400-years'-past form. In this form, he manages to cut Free in half and cut Kid's arm off under a second.

Mosquito begins to insult Kid, his father and Shibusen for their incompetence. Kid is angered by the repeated diatribes toward his father and Shibusen. Somehow, in the midst of the conversation, the BREW Kid held is activated--connecting one of Kid's Sanzu Lines and unlocking Kid's dormant shinigami powers. Immediately, Kid's arm is reattached by his power. With this new surge of power, Kid begins his Stance of Punishment and continues his battle with Mosquito. Kid uses this new power to upgrade his pistols from from .38 to .42--increasing their caliber.

Mosquito performs his Darkness Discord, though that proves effective for only a moment, as Kid manages to shoot each and every one of the eight-thousand bats, but not without being gravely injured himself. Once this scene is over, Kid reverts back to his normal unsymmetrical self and, upon hearing the explosion caused by Free destroying the lock, Mosquito quickly goes to protect Arachne. Kid goes to follow him. When Kid reaches Mosquito's location, he finds that Mosquito is about to do battle with a mysterious man.

Kid hides behind a wall and listens in on the conversation between Mosquito and the man, the revelation of the man calling himself Eibon was actually Noah, and the death of Mosquito at his hands. Upon seeing how easily Noah defeated Mosquito, Kid tries to escape but is easily found by Noah. Noah prepares to suck Kid within his book. Liz and Patty get sucked out of Kid's hands and onto the floor. Both of them watch Kid get captured by Noah.

Kid is next seen within Noah's book as Noah is leaving the area. Kid senses the insanity being spread by Arachne and says that he will have to believe in the others.

Kid hears the conversation among Noah and his group--specifically on them planning to assassinate Maka. Kid is disgusted by this.

Kid is seen being assaulted by Gopher for rearranging the bookmarks of Noah's book. When Kid makes a comment about Noah's disorganized way of placing bookmarks, Gopher once again attacks Kid for talking back. Upon hearing Noah giving Gopher the orders to prepare for the assassination, Kid threatens that they will regret it if they ever hurt Maka.

Gopher barges into the room where Kid is being held after he fails to kill Maka. Kid proceeds to make a snide comment on Gopher's failure. This results in Gopher kicking Kid and continuing to assault him off-screen.

Kid is shown being punched by Gopher, who asks him why he doesn't beg for his life. Kid laughs and asks why he should beg for such a dismal effort. Gopher makes his 'pouty face' and Kid laughs and says he enjoys Gopher's frustration. He then realizes that Gopher's expression isn't symmetrical, and begins to scream for somebody to save him.

When Gopher realizes Kid's weakness, he begins to take advantage of it by ripping off one of Kid's sleeves and finally drawing on only half of Kid's face. Kid is clearly distraught by this.

Gopher continues his torturing of Kid, taking special care as to do so on only one side. Before he could continue, Noah appears, reprimands Gopher before sending him off to retrieve some tea and sucking Kid back into the Book Of Eibon. Inside the book, Kid quickly wipes off the drawings on his face and rips off the untouched sleeve to regain his symmetry. It's not long before Kid discovers a large mass of darkness. He is astonished that Noah had hid that in his book and grows anxious for someone to save him.

Kid is face-to-face with The Black Mass. Kid recognizes the wavelength and likens it to Asura. The mass speaks to Kid, calling him a fragment of Shinigami, and reveals that he is a member of the 8 Warriors as are Shinigami and Asura. He reveals that three of the warriors were eaten by Asura and those that now remain, himself, Asura, Shinigami, Eibon, and one other of whom Kid knows, which is rumored to be Excalibur. In light of the revelation, Kid inquires about the whereabouts of Asura inasmuch as he is a warrior. The mass is not pleased by Kid's hasty questioning and responds by asserting the fact that he is not Kid's ally, nor anything else. As he utters these words, he says that the existence of the 8 Warriors drive men to madness whilst drenching Kid with a black, liquid-like substance. Quickly, Kid is consumed by darkness. He musters a smile and remarks on this new feeling.

He seen floating in darkness, commenting on the darkness and likens it to nothingness, and in as much as there is no left nor right, is a unity that exceeds symmetry insofar that it is the zenith of order. The nothingness, shared amongst all living things is death. In light of this, he concludes that he must eliminate everything to create the "order".

He then speaks to the Mass--telling him his goal to create the ultimate symmetry, the ultimate unity: nothingness. The black mass then tells him to try out his new-found power of madness, and Kid agrees. It is here he is confronted by his friends and appears ready to do battle with Black Star. Kid invites Black Star and the two confront each other with Black Star saying that he will bring Kid back even if he's gotta drag him back.

Finally, he and Black Star face off in an underwater-like landscape. The two fight, and Kid admits to Black Star that he is "big" and must be destroyed in order for Kid to make "nothingness." Just as Kid prepares a counter, the Black Mass gets in the way of Kid, to his disapproval. The Mass then turns to Black Star and asks him, "What is the 'power' you seek?"

Black Star seems to have gained a new power from the black mass, and finally Kid and Black Star begin to fight. Several physical attacks are thrown, and then Kid activates one of the Lines of Sanzu. Then he blasts Black Star in the stomach and continues beating him. After Black Star gives him a few words, he punches Kid and sends him flying upwards. The both continue to kick and throw punches at each other and Black Star tries snapping Kid out of his insanity, saying that trying to make nothingness is the same as saying that balance is too hard for Kid to deal with, so he's trying to take the easy way out. He also argues that he does not have to be insane in order to be powerful.

Elsewhere, Liz, Patti, Tsubaki, and the others await Black Star's return. During this time Liz remembers how she and Patti first met Kid, and how he saved them by thugs and how he had them be his new partners. She and Patti had been planning on using Kid's 'Shinigami status' to gain the money and power they craved. However, the more time they spent with Kid, the more they grew to care for him, a fact Liz realizes after watching Patti laugh herself to tears. She thinks of how she and her sister hadn't cared about anyone but themselves before then, and if 'they had been killed by this shinigami'. It begins to rain money down on the group, and Liz thinks to herself that she doesn't care about money, all she wants is for Kid and Black Star to return safely. Patti and Tsubaki ask if she's ok, and she begins to cry, saying that she hadn't thanked him yet. Patti and Tsubaki simply smile and pull her into a hug.

Back to the huge battle, where Black Star is talking to Kid once more, saying that while he may be using the power of insanity to become more powerful, losing himself to the insanity is nothing but a joke. "I figured it out," he says. "What I want to do once I get ultimate power in my hands." The scene quickly ends after the black mass appears, saying that he will no longer listen to their definitions of power.

Kid begins to think of the answer to power. He begins to go through what death gods are supposed to do, and realizes that Black Star is right, and thanks him. Black Star waves it off, saying that it was expected of him, since they were friends, and says that friendship is the only part of life not controlled by symmetry. Black Star then tells the black mass that, while his answer was "power" and "strength", but he was going to use his ultimate power to help Kid create the ultimate world.

The black mass quickly said that what they were talking about was political terror. Since Black Star had lived through the seven deadly sins, he asks what it would be called if you add one more to the sins. That is the answer to their question, it says. Kid replies that those with power are those who create order, those with power are those who make the standards for justice.

"The 'justice' that is too old is evil. And with time it drives people mad... Shinigami and us gave birth to Asura." The black mass replied.

Black Star makes fun of the black mass. He instead says that they weren't alone, that there were Tsubaki, Liz, Patti, and many others. Especially Maka and Soul. Kid says that Maka and Soul can do things that they cannot do. The black mass reveals that he can help them all escape the book.

The scene changes to outside Noah's base, where Stein, Marie, Sid, Tezca Tlipoca, and Nygus are about to enter the building. As Tezca opens the door, however, one of Noah's worm creatures attacks and eats his left arm and half of his torso. Another attacks Stein, and Sid gives up his arm to save Marie from a third worm. Noah attacks them again, talking about how they weren't worth adding to his collection. Justin appears and attacks Marie, talking to his god. After knocking Marie and Nygus unconsious, he looks up to the sky and crys out, "Hey God!"

Noah quickly traps Stein and summons a new creature he calls the Manticore, which looks like a cross between a scorpion, a dog, and a human. When he summons it, however, it helps those trapped in the book escape. The children are, at first, oblivious to their surroundings, but are quickly horrified by the states of their teachers, who tell them to run. Kid demands to know who attacked them and he, along with Black Star, attacks the Manticore. The scene ends with Kid stating, "In the world that I imagined you do not exist. I'll enforce your death penalty," with a murderous glare aimed at Noah.

Using the power of Madness to gain an edge over Noah and his powers, Kid, Black*Star, Kilik, along with Maka and Soul, battled Noah together. Soon overpowered by Noah's most powerful beast, Kid realizes that his powers alone would not be enough to defeat Noah. Noah soon goes off about ruling everything when Kid proclaims that his way of ruling everything isn't beautiful but that the balance of things is beautiful. Thanking Liz and Patti for helping him and hoping to continue helping him in the future, Kid unleashes the power of the Sanzu Lines and utilizes the power of the Coffin Construction and the power of the Parent's Seven Lights to defeat Noah's most powerful beast he kept in his book. Kid finally destroys Noah, though Gopher manages to escape with the Book of Eibon.

Kid returned to the Death Room apologizing to his father for making him worry. Lord Death did not mind it and was proud that Kid had connected two of the three Sanzu Lines telling him his true powers would awaken with time. Kid proceeded to explain what he believed Noah to be and described him as a Collecting Machine. Eventually, Lord Death makes a reference to the Book of Eibon and causes Kid to believe he knew more than what he was letting on. After dicussing the "Madness of Knowledge," Stein checks the body bag to confirm whether or not Tezca Tlipoca was really dead. Looking in the bag, everyone realized that Tezca Tlipoca tricked everyone and was still alive. Kid then comments on how he is a Death Scythe and that he doesn't believe that Tezca would go mad like Justin has. Kid later returns to the Lost Island, believing the real Eibon to be there. He does find the real Eibon who seems to know exactly what is bothering Kid: the Kishin, Brew, and his father's connection to madness. Eibon then tells Kid to follow him.

Kid just came back and they heard what had happened. Kim asked him if he could change his father's mind about Crona as she/him was controlled by Medusa and that to ask Maka and the others to kill her/him was an hasty decision. Kid said what Crona did was unforgivable. With all that happened, her/his disposal was inevitable. Black Star grabbed Kid and said that was he here to just say this boring stuff and Kid told him to let him finish. There isn't really an thing called an absolute "order". In his mind he was thinking about what Eibon has said. Harvar agreed with Kid. Even him an cooled headed and rational guy can agree with this matter as everyone here has different ways of seeing things, but not everyone will agree together however in order to bring everyone together was "order". Even if this symbol is not followed, an Shinigami like Kid, doesn't aside with this "order", humanity will be broken apart. However not everyone agreed on this order to kill Crona, but his father wanted them to find an way to comfort someone who is not tied this "order" like her/him. No matter how low it is, they will have to move forward with this "order". Liz was proud on how much Kid has grown.

Stein asked Shinigami to remove Kid from the Spartoi's mission and to have him on the mission to suppress the Kishin. Death agreed, because since they were going to the moon it would probably become a mid-air battle, and Kid's skateboard skills would come in handy. He also mentioned another reason Kid should go was because the battle was a battle to regain "order". Kid told Soul and Maka that those were the orders, so he couldn't go with them to save Crona. He told them that his father couldn't go to the moon so he, as an Shinigami, had to fight in his father's place. Kid also said that it may be irresponsible of him, but he hoped that Maka would be able to stop Crona and that he was leaving her/him to her. Maka understood. Soul told Kid not to die on them as the mission to supress the Kishin was much more dangerous than theirs. Kid replied that he wouldn't, because Black Star would hold a grudge against him if he did. Kid then went to tell Soul that he knew that Black Star was getting stronger and was the strongest in Shibusen, and that it was frustrating but Black Star had always had this feelings about him in the past. Kid mentioned that he, however, would not stop there and would surpass Black Star once again. Kid then told Soul to not tell Black Star, as that would make him cocky. Soul agreed , and he and Kid knuckled their hands together. Kid paused and asked to do this with the left hand too. Soul sighed and said that Kid would never change.


Reason for being on AM: A few other Soul Eater charries were here, and I got the urge to pick him up again - to be blunt it's been far too long.
